Which rewards are weekly, and which come from each clear?
The October 6 official Raid entry-currency notice sets out the system introduced during the October 8 maintenance. Version 2.2 is already live; its recommendation to spend old Mystic Keys before that update is historical advice.
- Entry keys
- Nightmare and Hell use Chaos Keys instead of Mystic Keys. Abyss uses Mystic Keys. The notice says up to two Chaos Keys are provided weekly, like Mystic Keys. Key supply and Weekly Reward claims are separate limits.
- Weekly Reward
- Star Fragments, Mystic Tokens, SSR Magic Crystal Shards, and Element Spell Bead Selection Chests. You can obtain this reward at most twice per week in total across both key types, based on the first two Reward Cubes obtained. Item quantities vary by difficulty, with higher difficulties providing more.
- Weekly Star Fragment limit
- Up to 1,000 Star Fragments per week from Weekly Rewards, regardless of difficulty. This is a weekly maximum, not a guaranteed 1,000 on every clear. Do not assume identical quantities for every item at every difficulty.
- Boss Clear Reward
- Separate from Weekly Rewards and available each time a Chaos Key or Mystic Key is used for the reward. After both weekly claims are used, further keys grant only this reward.
- Temporary Abyss bonus
- The Abyss Boss Clear Reward includes an extra 500 Star Fragments after Version 2.2 until the Version 2.3 update. This event reward is separate from the Weekly Reward cap. Mystic Tokens, SSR Magic Crystal Shards, and Element Spell Bead Selection Chests remain Weekly Reward items.
What should I check before the first Reward Cube?
- Read the reward counter. Record how many Weekly Rewards are already used. Check the reward history if you have run with a different group; changing parties does not create another weekly allowance.
- Choose the reward difficulty first. Compare the available reward information and your group’s realistic clear ability. If your group plans an Abyss reward later, discuss that before collecting two lower-difficulty cubes.
- Check the selected key and reward. Record Chaos Key or Mystic Key, current stock, difficulty, and the reward you expect to obtain. Do not confuse ordinary Cube Keys with Raid entry keys.
- Prepare the equipped team. Check the active weapon and equipment preset, the boss mechanics, and who handles each mechanic. Upgrade a specific missing piece before the scheduled run rather than spend your reserve across unused heroes.
- Agree on the run’s purpose. Tell the party whether you are seeking one of your first two Weekly Rewards or only a Boss Clear Reward. Confirm the reward result afterward and update the count.
A failed run is not evidence that a Weekly Reward was claimed. Check the actual counter and whether a Reward Cube was obtained; the official cap is about rewards obtained, so do not infer claim consumption from a failure alone.
How do the two shared claims work in practice?
Example: mixing keys still uses the same two claims
- You obtain a Hell Reward Cube using a Chaos Key. You have used 1 of 2 Weekly Rewards.
- You then obtain an Abyss Reward Cube using a Mystic Key. You have now used 2 of 2.
- You use another Chaos Key for a later rewarded clear. You receive the Boss Clear Reward, with no third Weekly Reward.
The example tracks claims, not a promised Star Fragment total. Record the quantities actually awarded at each difficulty.
Example: two lower-difficulty claims cannot be upgraded later
If you obtain both Weekly Rewards on lower difficulties with Chaos Keys, then use a Mystic Key at Abyss, the Abyss clear cannot replace or top up those Weekly Rewards. It grants the Boss Clear Reward, including the temporary extra 500 Star Fragments while that event remains active. It does not restore the missed higher-difficulty Weekly Reward quantities.
Should I use another key after 2/2 claims?
Inspect the Boss Clear Reward and decide whether it serves a current equipment or material goal. Do not spend another key expecting Weekly Reward Mystic Tokens or the other weekly-only items. While the Abyss event is active, account for its extra 500 Star Fragments on the Boss Clear side of your notes.
A useful reward log has these fields for each run: difficulty; key used; Weekly Reward count before and after; actual Weekly Reward items; actual Boss Clear items. Keep the two reward categories separate when calculating your weekly Star Fragment income.
The notice describes a pre-entry reward-information popup and a possible future increase in Weekly Reward claims from extra entry keys as planned improvements. Do not budget additional claims from those plans unless a later official notice confirms their implementation. The temporary bonus ends at the Version 2.3 update; this notice does not supply a calendar date for that update.
What belongs on the weekly Raid prep list?
- At the start of your planning: check the current mode timer, keys owned, claims used, and your next reliable group slot. Use the in-game timer rather than assume a reset hour from another mode.
- Before the group meets: resolve one equipment or survival bottleneck, read the relevant boss mechanics, and confirm the intended difficulty with everyone.
- Before collecting a reward: revisit the 0/2 or 1/2 count and confirm that this is the difficulty you want for that claim.
- After the run: verify the items, record the new count, and decide whether the next run has a weekly-reward or boss-clear purpose.
- Before the displayed weekly reset: check for a remaining claim and arrange a feasible clear. If the higher difficulty is not realistic in time, choose a clear you can finish after inspecting its reward quantities.
Keep this alongside the account’s weekly checklist and Knighthood schedule. Those activities have separate counters and rules.
Raid reward questions
Do two Chaos Keys plus two Mystic Keys mean four Weekly Rewards?
No. Both key types share two Weekly Reward claims in total under the verified 2.2 rules.
Does claiming two low-difficulty rewards permanently block Abyss?
The notice limits further Weekly Rewards, not entry itself. A later keyed Abyss reward is a Boss Clear Reward; it cannot upgrade the earlier Weekly Rewards.
Is the 500-Star-Fragment Abyss bonus permanent?
No. It is an event addition to the Boss Clear Reward until the Version 2.3 update, separate from the weekly maximum.
